While this can make it easy to keep tabs on movie stars’ relationships, it doesn’t help security teams stay on top of what’s really important. To prioritize their efforts, there are five factors security teams should look at in assessing the true risk of… Read more »

In this series of blog posts, we’ll cover the must-have metrics for vulnerability management. The rising cadence of automated attacks means that security teams need to strive to make their own practices as precise and metric-driven as possible. Pouring through spreadsheets and creating 500-page PDFs is no longer enough to ensure that critical vulnerabilities are remediated in time. But what’s… Read more »

When I ran security at Orbitz, reporting on risk was always a challenge.

But frankly, we weren’t very good at it. We… Read more »

As applications and infrastructure grow larger and more complex, the likelihood of running into these Type I errors increases along with it. Although these issues become more commonplace as you grow, there are a number of known ways to help decrease the amount of false positives that are produced… Read more »

Earlier this year, Rapid7 and Risk I/O collaborated to create a simple out-of-the-box connector that pulls vulnerability scan data directly from Rapid7’s Nexpose, and uses Risk I/O to aggregate, correlate and prioritize vulnerabilities for the most effective remediation of possible security threats. Through this collaboration, Nexpose users can… Read more »

A couple of weeks ago we asked you to help us build our roadmap by completing a short survey. We wanted to ensure we were integrating with the vulnerability assessment and remediation tools that were most valuable to our audience. I initially thought we would be able to pull this information from the analysts but had very little luck with… Read more »
